Australian cricket team in England in 1930

The Australian tourists were captained by Bill Woodfull, while the home side were led by Percy Chapman, who was dropped in favour of Bob Wyatt in the final Test.Hobart paper The Mercury said: No previous visit of an International team has aroused more widespread interest than that of Woodfull's XI."[3]After leaving Port Melbourne on ship the Nairana, the Australians arrived in Launceston via the Tamar River at 9am on 8 March 1930, as "a big crowd waited to greet the tourists".The Australians began their reply positively, with Bill Ponsford and Stan McCabe taking the score to 120 without loss.[5] The Australians had a stopover in Colombo en route to England and played a one-day single-innings match there against the Ceylon national team, which at that time did not have Test status.
